Recent changes to Ecclesiastical province redirects
Hello @Uffda608. Thank you for your recent reviewing of the Ecclesiastical province redirects. I am, however, puzzled by the changes with the R to section additions. The redirects do not lead to sections, but, instead, go to embedded anchors and they already use the R to anchor to indicate that. I believe the use of R to section is incorrect in these cases. If I am missing or overlooking something, I welcome correction. — Archer1234 (t·c) 22:06, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Archer1234. You are absolutely right that those redirects should not have R to section tags and that they certainly should not have both R to section and R to anchor tags. Thank you for politely correcting my mistake; I will work on rolling those additions back. Uffda608 (talk) 10:04, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

May backlog drive
An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.
PageTriage
An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.

Articles for Creation backlog drive
Hello Uffda608:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:38, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
